Helpful Stuff For IE7? 58
Cycloid Torus asks: "IE7 is with us. It asked to be installed as a Critical Update this morning, so I decided to find out more about what was going on and if there are issues to this new and official piece of Windows XP. I found a site of known IE7 issues to be of use. Are there other sites with solid information which can help the wary from getting charred with this upgrade?"

currently updated Kaspersky6 thinks IE7 is a malicious, evil threat, wants it gone.
Not evil though, new politeness in fact,
When it crashes, pop-up says
"sorry for the inconvenience", it waits for me to click,
then it quietly goes away.

My guess is this already happened in IE6, and probably in Firefox as well... the same thing happens with browsing history. Though you clear it, unless you restart the browser the "back" and "forward" buttons will still work and remember the pages you've been to.
Through the options window you can make IE ignore the cache and just load the pages every time... that's almost mandatory when working with web services and

You are nuts. Of course you can guess what it actually does, but it doesn't do what it is supposed to do.
"Clear cache" means exactly that. It clears the cache. Not the cache files. The whole cache.
In Firefox it works as expected.

My IE6 doesn't claim to have a "Delete cache" option. It does have a "Delete locally stored content from disk" option (or something like that, my IE6 is in Spanish). My IE7 is at home, so I can't check it right now... so it might actually claim to do something it doesn't, I'm not sure.

I fail to see how I'm nuts. You shouldn't answer disrespectfully by default just because this is Slashdot.
Sorry, I meant delusional. Seeing stuff that is not there. When you said "probably in Firefox as well" you assumed that Firefox would follow the behaviour of IE.
Firefox takes care of this kind of stuff, and has a "privacy" funcionality that offers to clear the cache, and selectively other sensitive information. (Control-Shift-Suprimir)

No, XHTML labelled as text/html still gets rendered in "standards mode", it's just that "standards mode" isn't very, well, standard. It's just slightly better than "quirks mode", which is basically the same as Internet Explorer 5.5.
Re: (Score:2)
The content type is "text/html", but the DOCTYPE is enough to put at least IE 6 into standards compliant mode. I haven't tested IE 7 or IE 5.x, though.

Have you tried since the RC? It was beta (well, at least not "final") for a reason. :) I had Beta 1 or 2 installed, the next version didn't even run on my PC, but the one after did. :P
You can disable tabbed browsing in IE7.

Also, IE (even IE6) and FF treat margins and padding exactly the same way in standards mode. So I don't know what you're trying to say.

We have several internal comapany k-bases and wikis and ticket systems that have "quirks" it you use any browser other then IE. I personally don't like IE very much but I have found the perfect solution in the IE Tabs extention for Firefox. I just do my work with Firefox and if I run into an internal page or site that doesn't work or display right I just set that one to use the IE rendering engine. This

I installed XP tonight and when I checked for updates there was, in the midst of 60 or so others, an IE7 entry. I unchecked it and was told that I had disabled a "critical update" and was advised to reenable it. I didn't, so I don't know if there would have been this other option he mentioned.

The only changes that have been made to moderation since I got here (I know I'm not the most venerable, although I did used to have a 5-digit UID and if I could remember what the name of the account was I might use it) have been hiding karma, instituting a karma kap, and removing the reminder to metamoderate from the front page (recent). All of these changes are IMO negative. Don't hold your fucking breath.

Remind me to look at your sites credit card information database if you ever implement it.
JSTL has a series of sql tags which even the offical documentation recommends you dont use them apart for the most simple throw it together wireframe type thing.
There is a reason for separating all this sort of stuff out you know.

IE7 ONLY shows up on the Windows Updates if you have installed an alpha or beta of it. If you are still running IE6, it does not force IE7 on you. We tested this here in our IT department after I noticed that my automatic update at home installed it.

I suspsect the reason is that the IE7 installation process makes you validate Windows, which other criticals haven't done.
